Diaper Review

UPDATE: I had checked on costco.com for their Kirkland diapers and they were 49.99 a box and the same thing with the store. I had to do a double check b/c that seemed outrageous to me! Well yesterday when I went to Costco they were 39.99! Now, I don't know what happened here but I'm assuming the price went up and now it's back down b/c even the website said $49.99, anyway, at 39.99 YOU'VE GOT URSELF A NEW CUSTOMER :-)
P.S. I just looked HERE and it says they're $45.99, make up your D### mind! is it 39, 45, 0r 49?? I guess you've gotta see in your own costco for yourself...GGGRRRR

HUGGIES GENTLE CARE: I LOVED these newborn kind the best! I used them for Bubbs and Audrey so I just had to get the same ones. In the hospital I had Pampers and they were just as good but not as cute!
PROS: no leaks, CUTE
CONS: Pricey
$10 for a 36 pack=0.28 cents each


HUGGIES SNUG & DRY: My best friend Erin bought Nathaniel some of these so I had a chance to use them when he was a size 1
PROS: no leaks, cheaper than swaddlers (Pampers)
CONS: not as cute as supreme (red bag HUGGIES)
$10 for a 50 pack--SIZE 1=0.20 cents each


PAMPERS SWADDLERS: I used these in the hospital and they were awesome however, once I went to size 1 they leaked, I felt like 1/2 the time his pee found a way out, no matter what I did so, these didn't work too good for us.
PROS: cost
CONS: leaked
$10 for 40 Size 1 Diapers=0.25 cents each

LUVS: These were an emergency purchase one night that we were at the market (don't ever buy diapers in a grocery store!! PRICEY). They were the cheapest ones so I took them and LOVED them!
PROS: Cheap!, no leaks, smell so good, cute
CONS: I got jacked in a grocery store, blah!
$7 for a 50 pack--Size 1=0.14 cents each!


TARGET UP & UP: I remember using these diapers for Audrey when she was small but they've changed alot in the past 6 years, I remember Target's diapers being almost like Huggies, now they're no where near that. What happened to the old ones? Anyway, they're great for the price but be prepared to have leaks at night
PROS: Cheap, ok pattern
CONS: leaked at night, urine smells bad in the diaper
$6.50 for a 50 pack--Size 1=0.13 cents each


HUGGIES SUPREME LITTLE MOVERS: I really love these! I'd say they're my favorite and the best out there. These puppies can hold loads of pee (overnight) and are cute, don't make the urine stink bad and are just the BEST OVERALL. I ONLY buy these with coupons.
PRO: no leaks!, cute!, BEST OVERALL
CONS: pricey
$10 for 31--SIZE 2=0.32 cents each



PARENTS CHOICE: (FOUND this picture on ebay) These diapers are really great, they're not cute or prefect like Huggies but they do the job and I never had a problem with them. I also used these with Audrey and would stock up on them all the time.
PROS: super cheap! no leaks
CONS: super ugly ;-)
$5--can't find info but I know I pay no more than $6 and they're at about 0.11 cents each


KIRKLAND COSTCO: WOW! almost like Huggies but not too much less in price, I really thought they'd be alot cheaper. But work great.
PROS: almost identical to Huggies Supreme, no leaks not even overnight!
CONS: still pricey, I want a better deal!
$50 for 208--size 3= 0.24 cents each

CLOTH DIAPERS: Last but not least, cloth diapers, I loved all the cute designs and how they are GREEN and so on but really, are they? I was constantly washing (using up gas, electricity and water) and he would go through them and it was just harder on me. Nate was already high maintance and this just added to the stress. Also, after doing the math, I spent more on these diapers (not includ. water, gas, elect.) then I would on disposibles. I was upset to find that out but live and learn, thats what I say. I know people that are pros at this and would rather spend more and save the planet, well more power to you and I thank you for that! I did use them till he grew out of them though so I didn't let them just sit there and waste, I did it mostly to save some money on disposibles and to try to get my money back that I spent on these. I haven't given up on them though, I still want to try a bumgenius out and see, they're just so expensive to start...
$9 each--bought about 9 but the good ones cost alot more
